Portable breathing apparatus

October 2012 Products & Solutions

The new FIRE-PAK Breathing Apparatus is a self-contained unit weighing roughly 500 g. It is portable, easy to use and extremely affordable.

The hood is worn over the head and shoulders. Its material is flame retardant and antistatic coated withstanding temperatures of between -40°C and 265°C. The PET Film window protects the eyes allowing visibility while the user tightens the string on the hood to ensure a snug and tight fit. Once the mouth piece is in the mouth a simple press of the pump can’s cap allows for automatic release of breathable air. The pump cans and all connections are luminous in colour and easy to use.

Once the cap is pressed the user inhales regularly and exhales through the mouth piece. The apparatus offers 5 to 10 minutes of breathable air thus allowing the user vital extra minutes to get to safety when life or health is in immediate danger.

Manufactured in ISO certified facilities and designed to EN Standard guidelines, the FIRE-PAK Breathing Apparatus can provide lifesaving assistance in offices, hospitals, hotels and private homes. There are a variety of sizing and canister options available depending on the application.
